Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/12/2014 -- The increasing capability of smartphones and tablets to double up as e-readers and MP3 players is having an adverse effect on the portable players category in the UK with many manufacturers, such as Sony UK Ltd, seeking to exit the category completely in order to concentrate on expansion within the mobile phone and tablet product categories.

Industry Prospects

The portable players category is predicted to post a volume CAGR decline of 11% over the forecast period. The performance is expected to be worse than in the review period (over the course of which Apple Computer UK Ltd?s iPod sold more units than the iPhone); a lack of innovation in the category will see key manufacturers switching their attention to smartphones and tablets, a shift of focus that suggests the category?s decline will continue in the UK.
